Not all methods can be used

Hi,
i´m beginner with jogl, i set up an eclipse project and draw a simple line on the screen which works fine. So it seems the lib has been set up correctly without any missing dll or sth. But by going on further i need some function e.g. in the GL packacke i cant us just like GL.getString(GL_...). Making an static import didnt work. In the package explorer of eclipse the methods are shown and i can attach the source but it doesnt help. How can I use these gl.... methods?

This sounds more like a problem with your Eclipse setup or your project code. If you already have a working JOGL project that draws a line, you should be able to import and use anything from JOGL. Are you sure you're not trying to import something that doesn't exist in JOGL? Perhaps you're looking at wrong/old documentation on the web.

Hello

Wade is probably right. You're probably trying to use a non static method as a static method. JOGL doesn't work that way, it's explained in this article:

Please look at our API documentation:

Please look at my rudimentary example:
